Using electron configurations, explain why the halogens readily react with the alkali metals to form salts

Chemistry

Alika [10]3 years ago

Halogen react with alkali metals because of their valence electrons. Halogens are just one electron short of being a stable wanna be "noble gas" so they "take or borrow" an electron. alkali metals have one too many valence electrons to be a noble gas, so they "give or lend" an electron.

this is why they are so compatible.
EXAMPLE

NaCl= Na+ +Cl-

Sodium(Na) "gives" its extra electron in order to become stable and Chlorine(Cl) "takes" Na extra electron in order to become stable

I need to know the answers
suter [353]
If you notice in the graph for antibiotic A, the number of bacteria actually INCREASES as time increases after the antibiotic was given. In the second graph, the amount of bacteria increases just a little bit (likely as the antibiotic sets in) and then decreases until no bacteria is left at all. This means that the antibiotic was the most successful because not only did the amount of bacteria decrease over time, but also all of the bacteria were eventually killed.

The last graph is shown as no antibiotic given. This is a graph showing the control group. There is always a control group in an experiment where nothing is done to the group. This is used to compare the results in the end of the experiment.

How many valence electrons are in two fluorine atoms
olga nikolaevna [1]

Answer:

If both fluorine atoms are combine than each atom have 8 valance electrons and total valance electrons in both atoms are 16.

Explanation:

Fluorine is halogen atom. The elements of group 17 are called halogens. These are six elements Fluorine, Chlorine, Bromine, Iodine, Astatine. Halogens are very reactive these elements can not be found free in nature. Their chemical properties are resemble greatly with each other. As we move down the group in periodic table size of halogens increases that's way fluorine is smaller in size as compared to other halogens elements.

There seven valance electrons in each halogen atom. They need one electron to complete the octet.

Fluorine atom combine with its another atom through covalent bond and share its one of valance electron with other atom thus both have 8 valance electrons and total valance electrons in both atoms are 16.
